This Innova DX Lion carries Reaper's custom Flame Vortex stamp on Innova's budget friendly DX plastic, and the Lion itself is an overstable midrange with a beaded rim built to resist torque on forehand shots.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 4 / 0 / 2

DX is Innova's soft, grippy base plastic. It feels good in cold weather and takes tree hits without complaint, but it beats in faster than premium plastics like Star or Champion, so a fresh DX Lion runs stable to a touch overstable and turns over more the longer you carry it. That makes it a good choice if you want a midrange that eventually settles into a flatter, more neutral flight.

Thrown flat it holds a straight line with a small flip up before a steady fade, and the beaded rim gives forehand throwers real torque resistance on flex shots into the wind. On a hyzer it holds the angle well and finishes with a dependable fade rather than dumping early. New players get a forgiving fairway midrange, and anyone replacing a beat in favorite will notice how close the flight numbers run to the box.

Want more wind resistance out of the same mold? The Halo Star Lion holds its line longer in gusty conditions. Prefer a similar overstable midrange from Discraft? The ESP Buzzz is a common pairing in the bag. Browse the rest of our overstable midranges.
